Comments

The black lives matter group are driven by anti-cop, black panthers and other radicals.
Some think it is an attempt to gin up the black voters for next hears Election.
The Brown angle is complete nonsense, Brown attacked officer Wilson in his vehicle and wrestled for the officers weapon. Then charged at the officer once the two were out of the vehicle. Eric Holder’s Justice dept. CLEARED Wilson of any wrongdoing.
The “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” . . . NEVER Happened . . . it was Made up by Brown’s accomplice, but still shouted far and wide.

Cops kill whites at almost double the rate of blacks. As a matter of fact, blacks are killed by blacks 93% of the time. The Left does not want you to know the biggest threat to black lives is other blacks. Despite the Left’s Black Lives Matter (blame and hate white America) movement, incidents of blacks killing blacks are on the rise.

The Left is ignoring the stunning numbers of blacks murdered in Chicago by blacks.
